During the last weekend, Sean, Kelly and I traveled to McAllen to pack up their home there and move it to the new house up on Post Hill. We couldn't have chosen a worse weekend for the move, as the temperatures down in the Valley were just as hot as they were in Mason, and their relative humidity was much higher than what we endure here.
For the last two years, Kelly and his family have been renting while they sought the right house to make their home.

Private property rights are some of the most important privileges available to us in Texas! They are protected by many case law precedents and have been for many, many years. Most of these precedents came about before sand plants and wind farms even existed.
The rights that accompany the ownership of land are not absolute.

Judging by the mail that’s been coming in lately, the greatest threat to the national security of the United States of America is stupidity. Congress, once it gets done shaking its finger at one another and ignoring the rest of us, should issue a public service announcement warning everyone not to leave home without their dumbrellas.

I’m not a good traveler and when I do go, I want to get there and get back. However, in my travels, I have to put up with rude and insensitive travelers. They want to be first and I’m willing to let them be first, but don’t ride my bumper.

It has been another hot week in the Art Community. The weatherman talks of rain in the fall. We are a greedy bunch and want rain now.
Communion Sunday is August 2nd. Roger and Tyra are communion stewards. This is sing-a-long Sunday. If you have not contacted Pastor John to be on the program, call him soon.
By the time this is published, Bible School will almost be over.

We enjoyed another wonderful week at The Eckert James River Bat Cave.
Although the weather was very hot, once we were in our seat it was quite comfortable. The shade and gentle breeze was a perfect combination for an unforgettable evening. We had nice crowds, lots of smiling faces, and very attentive audiences.
Although the bats are not emerging until after eight thirty, if you are in the parking lot by seven thirty, you will have plenty of time to get to the seating area and relax while I gi ...

LEAKY GUT happens when our gut lining leaks. It is not a good condition to have. Most people with autoimmune disorders have it. The truth is that many of us have it to some degree and our symptoms vary widely. The most prevalent symptom is just feeling blah or yucky.
Here is a more GRAPHIC IMAGE of leaky gut.

Looking back over the columns I have done for the Mason County News I realized that this is the 22nd column. Time sure flies when you’re having fun… and I do enjoy doing this. It’s like a history of Mason and our citizens. A special thanks to the Mason Senior Center Director, Mario Arteaga, for coming up with the idea to do this column and allowing me to do it.
Senior Spotlight
Today’s Spotlight shines on a very special friend of the Senior Center, so much so that this is going to be ...

It has certainly continued to be HOT outside and there is not much wind to even cool off the evenings. In fact the wind is not enough to even turn a wind turbine, which makes me wonder how the wind farm developers think they are going to generate any power at a time when every home in Texas is using electricity to keep cool.

Many tourist destinations tease with promises to “get away from it all.” One in the US goes a step further. Albuquerque, NM, offers opportunities to “get above” much of it, thanks to mountainous trails, a memorable aerial tramway and world-renowned hot air ballooning.
After spending a few days there, I’d dare suggest an “elevated” slogan that won’t likely gain traction.

Time flies.
Whether or not you’re having fun.
Time has its own speed limit.
Which seems to increase as time passes.
When we’re 10, time drags on.
At 10 mph.
When we’re 30, it’s 30 mph.
And ramping up.
By 50, time’s zipping along at 50 mph.
And so forth.
I guess it makes sense that the eyesight goes.
Since it’s all a blur at 80 or 90.
Time rules.
Nature’s stopwatch.
Calling the shots.
Ready, set, go.
Time’s up.
You’re out.
You win a few.
Lose a few.
